AboutAbout the lab
Exploring brain and mental health through brain images
The Brain Imaging Survey Unit is in charge of additional MRI examinations and cognitive and psychological tests in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project.
It aims to clarify how constitution (genetic factors) and lifestyle affect the brain, cognitive function, and mental state.
The unit conducts the "Brain and Mental Health Survey" with people who took part in the Three-Generation Cohort Study or the Community-Based Cohort Study and who want an MRI examination.
From the survey results, it builds a large-scale brain imaging database, aiming to advance early diagnosis and prevention of conditions such as depression, PTSD, and dementia.
